PANews reported on December 8th that Brevan Howard, the hedge fund of Alan Howard, currently has 150 employees in Abu Dhabi and is committed to staying there long-term. It is currently the largest institution operating in Abu Dhabi. He stated that the Gulf city is rapidly emerging and has the potential to become a global financial hub on par with Western financial centers like London and New York. "A few years ago, I thought it would become the 'third pole' alongside New York and London, and now I think it's definitely on that path," he explained. He continued, "As more asset management companies and banks move in, the trading volume of various assets is constantly increasing, creating a flywheel effect. For every fund manager working here, it brings in three to four professionals from service institutions." Nevertheless, most of the infrastructure and core talent supporting the hedge fund industry remains concentrated in traditional centers. However, Howard believes that the proportion of funds managed in Abu Dhabi will continue to grow because the business-friendly regulatory environment, the advantages of cross-regional trading, and the UAE's strong capital pool are driving Abu Dhabi and Dubai to transform into global financial centers.PANews reported on December 8th that Brevan Howard, the hedge fund of Alan Howard, currently has 150 employees in Abu Dhabi and is committed to staying there long-term.

US SEC Chairman: Many types of cryptocurrency ICOs are not under the SEC's jurisdiction.

US SEC Chairman: Many types of cryptocurrency ICOs are not under the SEC's jurisdiction.

PANews reported on December 10th, citing The Block, that SEC Chairman Paul Atkins stated at the Blockchain Association's annual policy summit on Tuesday that many types of Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) should be considered non-securities transactions and are outside the jurisdiction of Wall Street regulators. He explained that this is precisely what the SEC wants to encourage, as these types of transactions, by their definition, do not fall under the category of securities. Atkins specifically mentioned the token taxonomy he introduced last month, which divides the crypto industry into four categories of tokens. He pointed out last month that network tokens, digital collectibles, and digital instruments should not be considered securities in themselves. On Tuesday, he further stated that ICOs involving these three types of tokens should also be considered non-securities transactions, meaning they are not subject to SEC regulation. Atkins also mentioned that, regarding initial coin offerings (ICOs), the SEC believes the only type of token it should regulate is tokenized securities, which are tokenized forms of securities already under SEC regulation and traded on-chain. He further explained that ICOs span four themes, three of which fall under the jurisdiction of the CFTC. The SEC will delegate these matters to the CFTC, while focusing on regulating tokenized securities.
